The Gist

Tips

Take full advantage of the tasting bar, definitely try the thincrust pizza, and check the bottle section for local craft beer you can't find elsewhere. You won't be disappointed.

To start, the atmosphere of the Growler & Gill is great -- warm and wooden with mellow lighting and a smile at the door from the enthusiastic staff. There are three separate "parts" to this establishment, and the running theme is QUALITY.
The menu offers an excellent selection of whatever you may be hungry for. While prices aren't necessarily cheap and portions are modest, the quality is excellent and the food is delicious.
The beer selection rotates constantly, so there is always something on tap for every palate, every season and every mood. Again, the prices aren't as cheap as your local dive, but the quality is high -- not a Bud, Miller or Coors product in sight -- and he selection often includes drafts that aren't readily available anywhere else. To top this off, there are often free tastings where brewery representatives are on hand to teach you all about what you're tasting so you can round out your love of craft brewing with some good education.
Lastly, there is the retail section. Again, prices aren't inexpensive, but the carry-out selection is packed full of high-quality offerings from a wide selection of brands, in many different styles. Plus, the staff is very knowledgeable and happy to help out when needed. I think they also sell brewing supplies as well, but wasn't able to explore in that direction during my visit.
In conclusion, the Growler and Gill is an excellent place to go to let the stresses of the work week melt away over some delicious brews. It's the perfect place for beer lovers who like to treat themselves to the good stuff.

Friendly staff and owners, incredible selection of beers and simple but great-tasting bar food.
Ended up spending more money than I should, but I really had to shell out some money to buy that Mckenzie Pumpkin beer to take home. Definitely will go back with more people.

Educational made fun by am impressively knowledgable staff that operate the place like family. The food is wonderful and pairs well is the crazy selection of beer which can all be sampled before committing to a glass or two.
They are quick to remind guests that it is not a bar where you come to drink until intoxicated.

From Our Editors

The self-described "beer geeks" at Growler & Gill Craft Beer Shoppe work double duty, pouring brews behind the bar and helping customers select six-packs in the retail section, with an expertise that's crowned them the number one restaurant in Nanuet and lauded by CraftBeer.com as one of the top Great American Beer Bars in the northeast. Made up of certified cicerone beer servers and experienced home brewers, staff members are happy to explain the difference between a lager and an ale or a wheat beer. Visitors who decide to sample a few gills?a unit referring to a quarter-pint?can also order a bite to eat off a pub menu that includes Bavarian pretzels, Polish pierogi, and bratwurst. They also offer regular events throughout the week, such as Wednesday night trivia to free brewery tastings on Thursday. In the spring, the Lower Hudson Valley Craft Beer Fest comes to Growler & Gill Craft Beer Shoppe and features beer-centric food and samples from several domestic and international breweries.
